This is my second First Bite report of the week. Check back tomorrow for a report on Merende. All three First Bites will be printed in this Friday's GO section.
Sumay Fine Indian Cuisine
Where: 12623 Meridian Ave., Puyallup
Phone: 253-770-6276; www.sumaycuisine.com
Menu overview: Solidly northern Indian, heavy on Punjabi dishes.
Price: $ (Entrees under $14)
It's a dining miracle when a maki sushi restaurant AND an Indian restaurant open in the same week in Puyallup. The Puyallup restaurant scene always has been a market ripe for culinary interest. An Indian restaurant, especially an upscale one like Sumay, is exactly what Puyallup’s South Hill has needed.
Sumay is located in the old Noodle Corner Thai restaurant in the same strip mall as a martial arts school (foodie shopping note: Pepe’s, a grocery store that carries Mexican groceries is nearby behind the 7-11). Sumay opened just before Christmas.
